Did you look at the output? It takes raw YUV. As in no headers or anything (hence why you have to specify resolution on the commandline). So there's absolutely no way for it to tell whether the input file is actually a YUV video. (Like most unix programs, it ignores the file extestion.) Anything you give it is a valid input, but it will look like random static if it's not in the right format.

And that is the main reason I recommend mencoder instead.
